Bark’n Mad is a painless alternative to anti bark collars and is widely used to manage complaints about
nuisance barking. It is suitable for use by both the owner and the annoyed neighbour to establish exactly how
much barking is actually occurring and hopefully resolve the issue before it becomes a conflict reported to the
council. Excessive barking can have a number of causes, the monitor recording will often identify these and
assist with resolution.
Where you are being subjected to annoying barking it is preferable to monitor it and collect records before you
discuss it with your neighbour and possibly have to report it to the council. Having the evidence is far better than just saying ‘your dog is barking
too much’.
